Johannesburg Java UG 2015 - Robust REST Architecture

This talk clears up misconceptions that developers may have about the REST architecture(Richardson Maturity Model) and guides them towards using industry best practices when designing and developing such services. It also demonstrates how a well-defined REST service can be consumed from applications running on different platforms. From a technical perspective, this talk will explore how a REST service can be built using Java and Spring, including building the foundations for authentication, authorization, configuration, data serialization, and testing. It will also cover the technical details for setting up a web client using Angular.js and a native mobile client using Android. The overall goal of this talk is for the attendees to walk away with a firm understanding of the REST architecture and a good idea of how to start implementing it in their own projects.
